Hard question but... how much did a Moto improve from 2019 to 2020 and to 2021? Asking these because I got a good deal on 2019 and 2020, but I demoed a 2021 and loved it
I tested switchblades from 2018 (have one now), 2019, 2020 and 2021 and they performed exactly the same to me, but since moto is kinda new for cabrinha, do you guys think it evolved that much, os just cosmetic differences?
The bar got a lot better from 2018 to 2020 in my opinion (material, not performance), but no big changes for 2021
thanks!

I hate to write this as we are a Cabrinha dealer, but the new Moto is the only Moto. The first gen was, um, half-baked. I described it at the time as unfinished, like some of the kinks weren't ironed out before it went into production.
We can sell the 2019 and 2020 Motos at the same discount as all the other Cab dealers, but I don't think it's worth it.

Man, thanks a lot for you super honest answer, cant imagine a better one! I should get a 2021 moto and not even think about the 2020, right?
And what about the new contra 1 strut? I have a 13m 2018 and was thinking of replacing it with a 11m, will it be a good upgrade? My intentions are to use it with lightwind foiling, what are the pros and cons?
Thanks again mate!
